Inappropriate response to this discussion.

The truth is never inappropriate.

Throughout most of American history, the office of president of the United States was treated with respect, no matter who held it. Whoever is in office was voted in by a majority, whether you are in it or not. WE are the United States of America. You, me, all of us in America. We won't ever agree on everything, but we should all, regardless of how much we like or dislike the current or former presidents, show our respect.

You're right. Hate, hate, hate, complain, complain.

Well said, Mary Lou. These people who hide behind their computers no longer have the least bit of respect or even common courtesy regarding their leaders. They should be ashamed of their anti-American attitudes.

Right you are.

Good comment. All too true.

Actually Barbara that isnt true. The Ryan plan will save medicare and any change will not take place for 10 years. It will NOT effect anyone currently on or close to getting medicare. Ryan's plan will preserve medicare. Obamacare is what will actually destroy medicare.

Unfortunatley, Ryans plan does not go far enough. However long it takes, there needs to be a plan to end medicare and social security. Whether it takes 30, 40 or even 50 years to do so. These two programs WILL eventually bankrupt this country along with numerous other Federal programs. That is a fact. It's time to end the Federal Governments role in social welfare.

Yes it is true, Barbara. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain who's trying to fool you, though.

Thanks so much for your opinion, Ed. "Survival of the fittest," eh?

John, it's called personal responsibility.

Agree. Seems they are conceding presidency and will concentrate on house and senate. Not surprised they didn't want to waste campaign's cash on Romney ads.

Aren't you glad that war started in 2001? Under that other guys watch?

Mary, aren't you glad that Obama ended the war in Afganistan, closed Gitmo, ended all Mid East conflict, stopped the rising seas and global warming, etc... Oh wait, none of that happened. Dont't forget all the dems that voted to invade Afganistan. Remember, it was the "good war."

Really? Anyway...irrelevant...

it's the only good thing i could say about him - trying to be a more positive person this weekend...

haha OK Paxton, fair enough.

Actually, I agree with your comment. Survival of the fittest? Not. Plus, he mentioned that our rights came from "nature and God." Really? This is government??

Better than the four years of Obama FAILURE

Why bring race into this? It is my experience that libs are some of the most racist people.

Joe Giles, will you ever have anything substantive to say? All you ever do is complain, and give your negative opinion. Don't you have anything GOOD to say, perhaps about your candidate? Or is there nothing to mention?

No, we have a nation of people with their hand out. We had a nation of industrious people, now we have people who want their 99 weeks of unemployment and food stamps to go with it. The government should make people do SOMETHING for that check.

Ed, I don't get unemployment or food stamps either, but I DO realize how hard it is to find a job these days. I live paycheck to paycheck and barely get by. I don't think it's fair that I have 2 college degrees, work hard for 40 hours a week at a job that pays less than $10 an hour, and still struggle. But according to you and Paul Ryan, it's what I deserve. And there are a lot of people who aren't even as lucky as me. You would rather just let these people go hungry and homeless? Nice.

John, How do my comments even apply to you? You have a job. I can assume its the reason that you do not get unemployment or food stamps. Whether its a good job or not, is up to you, you're the one who took it. Just because you have 2 degrees doesn't mean you can't struggle like the rest of us who don't have degrees. Is having 2 degrees suppose to be a lifetime pass on hard times? Life is not fair and working only 40 hrs a week these days is like having a part time job. Your leaving hours(money) on the table every week. Go get another job. There is nothing wrong with having two jobs. Heck, I have 3.

When will people learn it is not the Government's job to create jobs! The only the the government can do is to stay out of the way and let free enterprise work. What has Obama, Bush, Clinton, or any of them done to create jobs? All the government can do is interfere.
